Most Basic Parts Required for a Lowering?

Sup everyone, looking to lower a 01 ex coupe

money's definitely an issue, and i'm looking for a 1.5-2 inch drop.

while I am looking for the best price, I don't want to compromise the quality of my setup.

So it looks like i'm going to need... new shocks/struts, and new springs, and a camber kit?

Any cheaper alternatives that'll offer me the same quality drop?

BTW, i won't be racing this, just looking to improve my look/handling/ride

-$200 lowering springs (eibach sportline maybe)
-$320 shocks/struts (tokico HP maybe)
-$120 camber kit (SPC maybe)

try and look around for used springs since they are lifetime parts anyway. shocks and camber kit i would get new. look on ebay. you also need to get an alignment once you install everything.
